Ok hang on to your seats.....

I saw my "real" Dr. today and as I anxiously waited for her to confirm what the Nurse Practitioner had said "You'll need double hip replacements. I can't believe your walking around." My Dr. sat down next to me and said "What????" "She said what?"

Long story short (or shorter) The Nurse Practitioner had jumped the gun, and had me in the loop with an Orthopedic Dr. (surgeon, one I didn't even pick) NP without a doubt said I needed this procedure~

So for the past 2 and a half weeks....

I've been telling people, like you all. Family and Friends that I was having the double hip thing.

I was preparing myself, looking into which surgeon was the best. Whether I should go to Seattle, or stay here. My son was upset. My husband elicited help from some of the nurses he knows....

OMG....

Of course I'm relieved, but also when you've prepared yourself for what someone has told you was going to happen and then .... no it's not going to happen.... I guess I felt blown away today hence the long post.

What I has is a serious case of Bursitis.... So it's icing, less walking or exercising. Heavy anti-inflammatory and walk with a cane if needed... then we'll see if it's been in a couple of weeks. If not then cortisone shots.

Me...

I live in the Pacific NW with my husband, cat and 7 chickens. My son lives a few miles away. I feel blessed to have 2 people that love me and I love them back. I've been making dolls for several years. From odd to cute... Halloween is one of my favorites.
I feel grateful and blessed everyday.
I've always had an eye for odd and unusual things. I'm attracted to bones, skulls, feathers.
I love dry humor and dark clothing. I'd rather have green olives than a chocolate cake. Coffee instead of tea. A walk on the beach or a dirt road instead of a mall or fancy clothing store. I love birds (that includes my chickens) prefer cats over dogs... but I love dogs.
I'm nomadic and would like to travel 9 months out of the year.
That's a little about me...
